Well, lets start with the currently driveable.
The S10 is running well. It has a gas leak from when I replaced the fuel tank sending unit and the check engine light is on because of a slow reading oxygen sensor. Oh, and the JVC radio that came in the truck when I bought it ate the last CD I put in it and will not give it back. New stock radio to come along with parts to fix the rest. I promise the JVC will RIP (rest in pieces) for eating my favorite CD. The Talon....well it's got some hydraulic line issues. Somewhere it's not getting proper disengagement for the clutch so I've currently got a new master cyl. and slave cyl. on order through Mitsu along with a stainless braided line from Speed Source. Hopefully, that does the trick and she'll be totally street ready. If not, out comes the old pedal assembly and it's getting welded. It WILL be done before winter though it'll never see snow. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

That's what I hear. I'm hoping not too so I'm replacing everything else first. I have a feeling I'll end up doing it though. My car likes being called a dirty little slutbag among other explicatives.

The GSX is running great... needs some data logging/tuning, but still pulls like a mule on boost. As some of you have seen, I am retiring it's racing stripes and using it only as a street/show piece.... The race track replacement is yet to be officially unveiled. I will keep you all posted.
The POS Hyundai Accent....... SOLD The Ninja 500......... SOLD  The Cavalier....... a strong unmolested daily driver The Blazer......... also a strong unmolested daily driver The Turbo-'Busa go cart......... still a fabrication of my own imagination, but we'll see what happens

my 94 topaz gets 30mpg with the extra cold A/C on
The GVR4 is driven just often enough to keep my car monkeys fed but not often enough to make them strong. If I feed them to much I fear another takeover and more time in the poor house. Look for me to reamurge from the muck in 2010. -------------------- GVR4 866/1000 = the perpetually broken car

Maybe that's why I'm so poor all the time. I feed my car monkeys all the time. Tina, you fat lard, come eat your dinner!

I've seen his car in person and it is flat amazing just to look at it. I've already got dibs on it when he's ready to sell it!
